End-running Viacom-owned celebrity news outlets Entertainment Tonight and The Insider that might run sympathetic pieces depicting Sumner Redstone’s surprise booting of Top Gun star Cruise and his production company off the Paramount lot, producing partner Paula Wagner took her side of the story to Warner Bros.' Extra today. Wagner offered her version of the scripted rebuttal provided to the newspapers.
From the press release touting tonight's appearance:
"Extra's" Jerry Penacoli spoke to Paula Wagner, Tom Cruise's production partner, about Viacom's announcement that it was ending its 14-year relationship with the duo. Wagner said, "I think it's disgraceful that someone who wants to end a business deal...makes it personal...it's the height of unprofessionalism...we think people will find it hard to work with Paramount in the future."
